Can I just tell you how much I cannot wait for Winter Break? (I'm being politically correct by saying Winter Break of course when I'm really excited for CHRISTMAS). I'm looking forward to doing things with my Ayley-pants and Sadie. We're planning on doing lots of Christmas things to get in the spirit. These things include decorating christmas cookies, buying presents for all our friends, picking out christmas dresses (I think our colors this year are gonna be purple, red and white), and doing a lot of service projects for our neighborhood and for other places including the shelter and soup kitchen in salt lake and the food bank. My family is planning on doing many service things this Christmas, to spread the joy of the season to everyone else. We're doing the Sub for Santa, which you can find at this website if you are also interested in helping spread joy to other families this Christmas season. This season should be about service anyway, and giving to other people. There are so many people out there who are so much less privileged than us, and we should reach out to them, especially during Christmas. I'm so excited to do these things! The year before last, my family did Sub for Santa. It really brought our family together, picking things out for another family. We really put ourselves aside to think about what this other family would enjoy. It was a lot of fun! I'm not just looking forward to that, but my family hasn't been skiing in at least two years and this year we're going to start up again! My dad said we might go on CHRISTMAS day (if it's open). But how perfect would that be? Open up all your gifts and then go out and play and ski in the snow when it's dark and you can see all the stars. That just sounds perfect.
I can't wait to get out of school and play for CHRISTMAS!
